Pruning branches

I'm a lawyer in the Korea Forest Service. So my job is usually giving legal advice but today I participated in an afforestation campaign.

My thinking was that trimming a tree was not burdensome at all. But I realized pruning branches is not an easy job. Here is what happened when I asked my boss "How am I supposed to do with this hand saw?" It started like the beginning of the proverb "Do not kick against the pricks...."

At first, he told me a few things I should aware of and he taught me how things work. "Cut side branches under 1/2 of the height of the tree. And cut vertically"."Don't saw by force"

Well, it was a truly tough job. However, I learned many things on today.

Hello Jason,

It sounds like a completely new experience for you. Would you do it again? Just a few really small mistakes. The main thing is that 'participate' is usually followed by 'in'.

Hope this helps

Bob
